Right Handed Shot, Left Eye Dominate Question

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Right handed, left eye dominant here. Learned to shoot long guns and bows lefty when I was about 7 and am good enough to qualify "expert" (for what that's worth) with an M-16A2 for the USAF. I shoot a handgun right handed and left eyed though. It has never given me any problems. I leave both eyes open as well. I don't feel as comfortable or steady with the handgun in my left hand and it feels strrange to wear my holster on my left hip.

I think most righties when they aim their handgun, close the left eye and aim with the right eye. For whatever reason, when I shoot with my right hand, my LEFT eye is the one that I aim with and my right eye closes. Without manually holding my right eye open (), I cannot aim with my right eye.

Does anyone else shoot like this and does it cause you any issues?

I shoot left handed and am right eye dominant. I can't shoot with both eyes open. Doesn't cause me any issues. When I am at the range, I am much more accurate when I close my left eye.

I'll have to look into point shooting though because I can see where it would not work in a defensive situation
